Default P-51 high speed handling problems

I think that puts to bed the aileron reversal question. It seems to handle speeds nicely.

One thing that ocurred to me is the chance that the turns may not be coordinated adequately. If you bank over and don't pull enough up elevator the airplane will tend to fall in to the turn. Opposite aileron would be needed to keep the airplane level. Try pulling a little more up elevator.
